Friends of Lemonade who are furry should of course respect the wishes of the parents and not wear anything furry to the funeral and treat it with complete decorum. However, banning them completely from the funeral would be petty, I mean if they knew the guy then they deserve to be able to attend and pay their respects.
Unfortunately fursuits have a lifetime and will not last forever no matter how well kept. If they do discard his fursuit, which would be unfortunate, I hope people who have seen it over the years save their pictures and share them with their memories of Tim. Personally I think the parents should either donate it to a charity auction or give it to his closest friend... but they may of course prefer to remember their son without his furry involvement.
This is a good example of why a will is something everyone, whatever your age, should have. Especially if you have family who aren't really on the same page with you on your lifestyle or who you don't feel really know you well enough to decide what happens after you die... just put something together letting them know what your wishes were. If it's not done through a lawyer it really depends on how much respect for those wishes your family will have but at least you'd be pointing them in the direction of what you would want.
